I am amazed every day when I have the privilege of witnessing the excellence of our nursing team at UF Health Shands Psychiatric Hospital. Committed to delivering behavioral health nursing care that is second to none, our nurses work in a beautiful setting that promotes healing.

With specialty units for adult, child and adolescent and substance abuse services, we are able to provide dedicated treatment programs that meet the most vital needs of our growing community.

We work in an interdisciplinary teaching environment focused on patient comfort, safety and healing where nurses closely monitor and adjust treatment plans to reflect the latest in therapy techniques. By maintaining an interest in and developing an appreciation for best practices for our field, our team is producing excellent clinical and satisfaction outcomes for their patients and colleagues.
